Sliced BBQ Beef Supper

 

Adventure Location: Rockport, Texas

Today Date: 4-12-2023

Another great day again. WOW we are lucky. For this morning the OFM legs were not in first class shape so we went to the Beach Park to give us more rest spots during a walk. Sure enough the leg soreness did interfere to some extent but by a couple of few minutes respites we still got in more than 1.5 miles but it was in several pieces with short rest periods instead of one long continuous walk.

Anyway the day in general was another fantastic sunny days.

Each year the authorities fence off a big chunk of the beach park back area to allow the birds a large nesting area and baby bird raising area free of folks and vehicles. To the OFM Teams it seems like a very worthwhile effort. Today was the day they blocked off the nesting section of the back area of the beach park. It will be blocked for several months until the new birds leave for other pastures.

Here is the front entrance blocked off.

We find that it really does not cause significant bother to the general public, there is plenty of other park areas and the beach part is totally open.

Now for the important part of the report for today. This late afternoon the OFM caught the first fish of his stay here this year and it was a doozy. A 17 inch speckled trout that looks full of eggs.

We got her back into the water in a hurry. Now can we say the fishing is good again????? Lets wait until a few more are caught. But it sure was a good feeling to be fighting a nice size fish on our rod for a change. Our hopes are definitely soaring tonight.

And finally for supper we stopped at Mac's here in Rockport and picked up a sliced BBQ beef sandwich for supper. Yes the OFM did deserve it.

And the OFM will sleep well tonight.

Our mail from the last few weeks made it here tonight and we are all caught up on the mail from the boondocking time etc since we left Alabama. Now we will have to do a bit of planning on how we are going to be trying to have tooooo much fun in the next couple of months before we get to Grandkid Land for the summer.
